Seeds, Seeds, and More Seeds!

Why will a seed die if it grows directly under its parent? Did you know that some seeds are spread by animals' feet? Charles Darwin once grew 80 plants from the mud he scraped off a bird's foot. Some seeds travel by sailing in the wind. Others float in the water to get to the land. Others hitchhikeon animals. Some just get blown in the wind. Join Park Interpreter Flanary as we discover answers about seeds, how they get around, and why seeds are important.

To ensure you enjoy your state park experience, be aware of the natural world. There
are some areas which are potentially hazardous to all visitors. Since it is impractical
to post signs at all danger points, use caution when approaching such areas as cliffs,
caves, heavily wooded areas, swamps, streams, and lakes. Adults are responsible
for children in their care. If unsure about possible hazards, check at the visitor
center.
